I have cancer and i have no idea of how to tell my friends and boyfriend and everyone else who i love!?

I am so sorry to hear that, but you sound like a very strong woman, so I know you will overcome this diagnosis. I think that if I were in your position, I would sit my family and loved ones down and just tell them. It's up to you if you want to tell them individually or not, but I'm sure they will be supportive and loving towards you no matter how you tell them. I would tell them how much I love them and how much I need their love and support now more than ever, and reassure them that with their help your journey will be much easier. I hope this helps. Good luck and God Bless you! Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I am so sorry to hear that..I am only 21 and I have cancer. I have gone through everything you have so if you want to contact me via 360 please don't hesitate to do so. Only my 2 very best friends know that I have cancer. My family and my boyfriend (when I had one) knew as well, but that's it. It's a very difficult time emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually and the last thing you need are half@ss friends grilling you for every detail. So I would recommend telling only the people closest to you... There is no tactful way to break the news..I just spoke somewhere along these lines... "Hey, ya know how I haven't felt well? Well, the doctor ran some tests..and they finally found the source. I actually have cancer..but fortunately there are lots of treatment options available so I have every reason hope. I hope you're not scared off and I hope you will continue to be there for me." Good luck and God Bless.

The Bible says, "The truth shall set you free". Just tell the truth with love...

tell them and they will cherish you more and more attention

Gather them all together and tell them straight,at least you wouldn,t have to go through it a dozen times over.My heart goes out to you,hugs and kisses goes your way.....................................…

its not an easy way, i would tell your parents first both together and then tell your boyfriend second, just you two alone so that he can be upset and say what he needs to. also get all the facts of wat your chances are of beating it etc because these are the questions that will be asked! I feel so sorry for you and i wish you all the best of luck!! Words cant really say anyting that is going ot make this any better...

Good question. When I was diagnosed 3 years ago, I had my mom call family. I called a few of my close friends and to be honest, I don't remember what I said. I know by the last phone call I was so tired of saying that I had cancer that I remember just being numb and talking like I had a hangnail or something. There was a lot of crying and support from my friends. In my case I had breast cancer, and I started by saying that I had found a lump and it was cancer. I was also 8 months pregnant at the time, so I also told them about being induced the next day. I really hope you find a way that you are comfortable with to tell people you love. It's a long and hard walk, but you will reach the top and be able to enjoy the view. It may not be a year from now, or two years, but you'll get there, even if you don't believe it now. I know I never thought I would be where I am today. I will be thinking about you. Good luck.

I wonder what kind you have and what the prognosis is. Some people choose not to talk about it since everyone will treat you differently from now on if you do. Then too they will say 'Oh my aunt had that same kind and she is fine' Well everyone has it differently. Or they will say' Be sure you have this treatment with the chemo first not surgery first' And after a while it is too too much even though they mean well. I thiink it is best to have a good Dr you can ask questions of and they will refer you to a social worker or a group support system as well. You might just want to think for a while and talk on this site more until the words come to you. It all depends on how much privacy you need.

I'm sorry to hear that. Just tell to ur bf, and to you ur closest friends not to all. good luck.
